The immediate past governor of
Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has described the Federal Government’s TraderMoni
scheme as a direct “re-looting of the Abacha loots.”
The former Governor also
described the scheme as an avenue for advanced votes buying.
Fayose wondered why Vice
President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo should leave Abuja spending about N25 million on
maintenance of presidential jet as well as allowances for himself, aides,
protocols, security and others just to share N10 million.
According to him, if the
President Muhammadu Buhari government was sincere about TraderMoni, the fund
should have been paid into bank accounts of beneficiaries.
He said by this, the disbursement
would have been traced and properly audited.
Fayose insisted that “When I was
governor, more than 20,000 people got N5,000 monthly stipend and the money was
paid into their bank accounts.”
The former made the claim in a
statement issued on Monday by his Media Aide, Lere Olayinka.
He said Nigerians had already
seen through the deceit of the All Progressives Congress, APC, led federal
government and will respond appropriately with their votes in 2019.
He said, “If not that TraderMoni
was to reloot the recovered Abacha loot, the proper way was for beneficiaries
to be captured biometrically and the N10,000 paid into their bank accounts
instead of the Vice President going to the market to share cash.
“Most importantly, there is
nowhere that the Vice President will travel to outside Abuja that he won’t
spend up to N25 million on his allowances, maintenance of presidential jet and
the allowances of his retinue of aides, including security men.
“Therefore, of what economic
sense is going to say Kano to share the N10,000 cash to 1,000 people? Isn’t
spending N25 million to share N10 million same as being penny wise pound
foolish?”
